The Black Mediterranean: Diasporic and Ecocritical Anxieties
19 November 2025. From 18:30 | Conference | Spanish | IEMed
This session explores how the concepts of “Mediterranean ecocriticism” and “Black Mediterranean” offer new tools for understanding the ecological, social and political complexities of the region. Coming from the fields of literature and cultural studies, these frameworks enable to analyze not only works of fiction but also cultural productions such as films, video games or comics, to address migration and the environmental crisis from an environmental humanities perspective.
